6- Then Give shell command to ubuntu type:

7-this still takes long, you are installing here almost the complete ubuntu via internet. that are a few hundred megabytes of downloading and over one gigabyte of extracting and installing. you can also jump over this step, but then you will have no ubuntu desktop. ensure you are stable connecteed to the internet(if fails because of connection just retry this step)
